  • No, never
  • yes, once.
  • sometimes, when someone dosen't respect your opinions or a bunch of people are bulling you .
  • Yes they have, when I first came on AB I was having a very hard time and that lead to me being very vulnerable. A group of people realised the fact and stalked and bullied me quite badly. I was so upset I left for a while. I still get hurt if people are nasty for no reason or touch a particular nerve but now I can handle it.
  • yes, kinda.
  • Hi Lucy, no mine haven't yet, knock on wood!
  • Only when I present hard facts that proves against and/or disagrees with a certain position and someone has the gall to rank it down.
  • Never!
  • Yeah once or twice, kinda... Not really though because this is, after all the internet... But I have done my fair share of being an ass as well so...
  • Only by people that DR for no resaon.
  • YES :( ...even to tears, what a sissy, I know. But it was soooo harsh!! and I hate it when they go on your profile and dr ALL the answers and questions you ever posted!! it's absolutely ridiculous
  • I have to admit to being a bit taken aback when answering a question on marriage at the follow-up I received. I think it was OTT and felt that it was somehow wrong to have a very harmless answer to a question. I felt I had to defend my opinion which was completly harmless but I felt the follow-up question was too much. I am not one for goading others and I would not question someone's opinion in that manner.
  • yes and that sucks
  • Yes. I asked AB what they thought common sense was because a lot of my friends say I don't have it and someone said it's something that I don't have. :(
  • hell no and never will. There is only one person on here who knows me well enough to be considered more than a name on a screen. everyone else on here could be highly advanced bots for all I know. I have been on the net long enough to know that people get much ballsier than real life hiding behind a screen.
  • Yes. Those on AB who are in favor of animal abuse, and against vegetarianism tend to be pretty condescending when espousing the virtues of the cruelty they enjoy.
  • Yes, because I'm too sensitive at times
  • Absolutely but I've gotten better at handling it and making liberal use of the unsubscribe button. I'm here to enjoy myself and I'll be damned if I'm going to let someone ruin that for me;)
  • Yes, A couple times, but I move on and have a cookie. :-)
  • No. I have extremely thick skin though. I have seen people TRY to hurt me with words but I can see through it and I do realize that this is the Internet. I like Most people here though, Even ones who probably don't think I like them by some of my answers but I don't get close enough or involved enough to actually get upset by what a stranger says to me. It's also hard to interpret emotional inflection in a typed word and I'm sure some people see me as hostile occasionally because I just bluntly disagree. Doesn't mean I'm mad and it's not intended to hurt anyone. It's the same as if we were out for a drink and I disagreed only you can't see the tone in which I disagreed with you and people will automatically assume the worst. I don't intentionally mean to hurt anybody but I come off as blunt sometimes because I am just too old to be diplomatic and have gotten rather opinionated with age.
  • No because I'm so damn loveable.
  • No. I'm sure I've hurt a few.
  • Yes, once. It came as quite a surprise to me as I never thought anything anyone might say here would bother me, but it was a unique situation.
  • yes. a couple times actually... but its online, so i dont usually think much of it
